  • Great first visit to @boulder_uk today! Fun and interesting problems and the coffee was so good we had an extra one after we’d finished! Also loving the new @bendriggtrust jumpers we picked up at the weekend. Perfect for bouldering in 💪 @alpkit @teambmc @weclimbuk @bootbananas
  • Whernside! A bit of a grey day today on the hill. A 17k circular walk. Not much to see until suddenly at the top the cloud opened and we could see the ground! Pretty cool. #adventureswithsightloss @alpkit @theyestribe #sayyesmore
  • Yesterday we set off for the Peak District for a day out on Kinder Scout. The forecast looked as if we would get some fog but it turned out to be a cracking day. Lovely in one sense but we did want a day to challenge our navigation skills. Rather than sticking to the main path we went off piste quite a lot. Lauren was on direction and John was on pacing. At one point we spent about 2km off any paths and had to make several bearing changes as we went with no reference points what so ever. John would count 600m, we’d change direction and repeat. Somehow we ended up within about 20m from our target which we were super impressed by! A great day out! #kinderscout #peakdistrict #AdventuresWithSightloss @theyestribe @alpkit @ordnancesurvey @lowe.alpine @rab.equipment #TMPtrail100 #TheMountainPeople @trailmagazine @bootbananas
  • Here's a little video from Snowdon. We'd been waiting for a weather window for a while, so it was a bit of a surprise when it finally came around. Had we checked a bit earlier, we'd have gone to bed early but nope, it was a late night and early start for us. A few people around but not overcrowded. Winter is probably a good time to take this one on! We set off at about 4.30 and at 7.45 we were in Llanberis ready to rock and roll! It was still a bit dark, but as it can take us a bit longer than most we have found heading out early to be the best chance of us getting down in the daylight. The Llanberis path was about as straightforward as things get for us. Even, predictable, properly VI friendly. Getting to the summit sharpened us up a little bit as it was a bit icy in places. We were happy to summit before before lunch time (11.30am). We were back down by 2.30pm. A great day out. #adventureswithsightloss
  • A few more pictures from our hike up snowdon on the llanberis path. The weather was magical! Well worth the early start. We made it down in good time and stopped off for a bucket of tea and cheese on toast at @peteseatsse8
  • Last minute decision to head to north Wales to climb snowdon while the weather looked good! Very happy! Also very tired as we only had about 3 hours sleep last night💤 and our feet ache, but who cares 😁#adventureswithsightloss #sayyesmore
  • What a way to start #2022 . With most of the organised dips cancelled this year we opted for a quiet one at #greatyarmouth . It was a bit rough so it really was a quick shuffle in, get battered by a few big overhead waves and get ‘washing machined’ on the way out! We know Great Yarmouth quite well and also know you can get whipped along the beach pretty quickly and as it was pretty rough (despite the picture looking pretty calm) we decided to keep our feet on the ground! Happy new year!!
  • Spending 2 days in the lakes with @anyonecanuk was a brilliant experience. We sailed, canoe sailed and Lauren spent time fussing a fluffy dog! Anyone Can offer accessible adventures so we knew all would be good. Often we worry about booking adventures and whether the provider will be ok with John being blind. No such issues with Anyone Can! #AdventuresWithSightloss @theyestribe @britblindsport @gbrblindsailing @alpkit
  • A quick dip in the #Lune (not the loo, as John had misheard it😂) with garryrowlands . A refreshing (😱) 7.9 degrees with a frost on the ground. Lovely, but it took a while to warm up again. @dryrobe #dryrobeterritory #AdventuresWithSightloss #sayyesmore
  • #14peaks was amazing! We were so happy to meet @nimsdai and watch the film with such an electric atmosphere. Looking forward to watching it again when it’s on Netflix.
